Description

The utility model relates to the equipment of beauty salons for a manicure and pedicure office, and more specifically to vacuum cleaners, air purifiers designed to clean the air of the workspace from suspended dust particles when performing a pedicure and pedicure.

A device for cleaning the air in the working area of a nail service master is known from the prior art (patent RU 2722712 (C1), published: 03.06.2020), comprising a housing; fan; air filter; LED strip; light diffuser; multi-link hinge holder; clamp; the body is made collapsible from the lower and upper parts; holes are made below and above the body, covered with protective nets; a fan is mounted in the lower part of the case behind a protective mesh; an air filter is mounted above the fan, which is located in the upper part of the case; in the lower part of the body, in a recess along the perimeter of the hole, an LED strip is mounted, which is covered with a light diffuser; the body is pivotally connected to a multi-link hinge holder, the links of which are movably interconnected; the holder is movably mounted on a clamp.

The disadvantage of the analogue is its low power and low productivity, due to the suspended version of the manufacture, which limits the weight and dimensions of the body.

Also known from the prior art is a device for purifying air in a nail salon (US patent 6444002 (B1), published: 03.09.2002), comprising a vacuum source having a vacuum inlet; a first channel having a first end connected to said vacuum inlet and a second end positioned above a workstation in said nail salon; a second channel having a first end connected to said vacuum inlet and a second end positioned under said work station; the second end of the specified first pipeline and the second end of the specified second pipeline, each of which is provided with a screen; first valve means installed in said first conduit intermediate between the first end and said second end; and second valve means installed in a second intermediate conduit, said first end and a second end.

The disadvantage of the analogue is the impossibility of moving the device between the zones of cleaning and use separately from the workplace, as well as the small area of application of the device, due to the peculiarity of the built-in structure into the working surface.

Also known from the prior art is a device "Vacuum cleaner for a manicure / pedicure office" (patent RU195199 (U1), published: 01/17/2020), characterized in that it contains a housing with a compartment for a drive fan and a chamber for collecting dust located inside; flexible air duct, fixed with an adjustable tripod on the body and connected by its channel to the dust collection chamber; and a lamp pivotally mounted on a tripod and connected to the duct of the flexible duct; moreover, a cylindrical filter is installed in the dust collection chamber, and the luminaire is made annular, in the center of which the end of the flexible air duct is installed, and the luminaire is configured to adjust the illumination, while the filter is attached to the body by means of a pressure plate and a sealing ring.

The disadvantage of the analogue is the complexity of servicing the device, due to the inaccessibility of the filter for its replacement, due to the implementation of its attachment to the housing cover by bolting through the pressure plate, at the same time to which the end of the flexible air duct is mounted. To remove the filter in this case, you must first disconnect the flexible air duct, then dismantle the pressure plate, and only then remove the filter from the housing. Other disadvantages are low sanitary and hygienic properties due to the placement of the filter directly in the device housing, which makes it difficult to maintain the housing itself and clean it from accumulated dust and dirt and, as a result, leads to mixing of dust and dirt remaining inside the housing with purified air and contamination of the working air. zones. Also, the analogue has a low performance due to the pressure drop of the air circulating inside the casing, made in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped.

Also known from the prior art is a device "Air purifier in a local area" (patent RU 200961 U1, published: November 20, 2020), characterized in that it contains a housing, a fan unit with a fan, a cylindrical filter, a flexible air duct, an adjustable stand, a ring-shaped lamp, inside the case, a filtration unit is mounted to the hole, in the lower part of which a fan unit with a fan is mounted, the inlet of the filtration unit is aligned with the hole in the upper case cover and with the hole in the hinged case cover, mounted above the top cover, the filter is mounted in the filtration unit through the inlet of the said block and rests on the top cover of the housing.

The main disadvantages of the analogue are low sanitary and hygienic properties due to the placement of a reusable filter directly in the device body, which contributes to the accumulation and multiplication of harmful microorganisms and bacteria, which ultimately leads to mixing with purified air and contamination of the working area.

The closest in technical essence is "Vacuum cleaner for a manicure / pedicure office" (patent RU 203355 U1, published: 04/01/2021), characterized in that it contains a housing with a compartment for a drive fan and a chamber for collecting dust and a flexible air duct connected its channel with a chamber for collecting dust, characterized in that a removable container for collecting dust is installed in the chamber for collecting dust, containing side walls and a bottom in which an opening is made, while a cylindrical filter with walls made of filtering material is installed in a container for collecting dust in the opening of its bottom, and the cylindrical filter is made open at the bottom and closed at the top.

This technical solution was taken as a prototype for the claimed utility model.

The main disadvantages of the prototype are low sanitary and hygienic conditions at the workplace of the pedicure and nail salon master, due to the placement of a reusable filter directly in the device body, which contributes to the accumulation and multiplication of harmful microorganisms, viruses and bacteria, which ultimately leads to their mixing with purified air and contamination of the working area. In addition, the disadvantage is also the complexity of the design due to the presence of an additional air chamber, which, in turn, complicates the maintenance of the vacuum cleaner.

For the claimed utility model, the following essential features common to the prototype have been identified: a vacuum cleaner for a pedicure and manicure office, containing a housing with a drive fan and a removable dust collection container located inside and a flexible air duct connected by its channel to the housing. The removable container for collecting dust contains side walls and a bottom, in which an opening is made. A cylindrical filter, open at the bottom and closed at the top, with walls made of filter material, is installed in the opening of the bottom of the dust collection container.

The technical problems of the utility model are low manufacturability and sanitary and hygienic cleanliness of the filtered air mass at the workplace of the pedicure and manicure master.

The technical problem is solved by the claimed design of a vacuum cleaner for a pedicure and manicure room, which contains a housing with a drive fan and a removable dust collection container located inside and a flexible air duct connected by its channel to a removable dust collection container. The removable container for collecting dust contains side walls and a bottom, in which an opening is made. A cylindrical filter with walls made of filtering material, open at the bottom and closed at the top, is installed in the opening of the container. A cover is installed in the upper part of the filter, into which an ultraviolet emitter is mounted. The inlet of the removable dust collection container is aligned with the opening in the upper housing cover and with the opening in the hinged housing cover mounted above the filter cover. A removable container for collecting dust is installed on the seal and is fixed inside the body by means of a hinged body cover. In the lower part of the body of the vacuum cleaner there is an outlet grill with blades directing the flow. The cylindrical filter is removable. The body of the vacuum cleaner is made in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. Wheels are installed in the lower part of the body.

Further, the claimed utility model is illustrated in more detail by drawings, in which

in fig. 1 shows the body of the vacuum cleaner in section;

in fig. 2 shows the appearance of the claimed vacuum cleaner.

The claimed vacuum cleaner comprises a body (8) with a cover (20), preferably made in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, mounted on wheels (13) located preferably at the outer corners of the bottom of the body. Inside the body (8) there is a removable container (6) for collecting dust. The container (6) contains side walls and a bottom, in which the opening is located. The container (6) is installed with its bottom on the housing of the compartment (10) of the drive fan (11) through a rubber seal (9), which ensures the tightness of the structure relative to the empty space of the housing (8). The container (6) is fixed by a hinged cover (2), into which a flexible air duct (1) is mounted at one end, and at the other to the lamp (17). Thanks to this design, the air duct (1) can be easily and quickly removed for cleaning and disinfection.

At the bottom, under the fan (11) located in the compartment (10), there is an outlet grill (12). The flexible air duct (1) is attached to the lamp stand (18) (17) through the clamps (19), and the stand (18) itself is attached to the body (8) using the clamp (14). Also, a switch (16) and a handle (15) are mounted on the body (8).

Inside the removable container (6), to its bottom, blocking the opening, a removable cylindrical filter (7), open at the bottom and closed at the top with a quick-release lid, is attached using, for example, connecting clips or thumbscrews through a pressure plate (not shown in the figure) (3) allowing air to pass through the sidewalls of the filter (7) containing the filter element (4). Making the dust filter (7) cylindrical provides an increase in the filter element (4), which increases the interval between cleanings.

A removable ultraviolet emitter (5) (also known as a bactericidal lamp) that does not generate ozone is mounted in the inner part of the filter (7) in a quick-detachable cover (3). The removable UV emitter (5) is fastened with a holder, eg G23.

The inlet of the removable container (6) for collecting dust is aligned with the hole in the top cover (20) and the hole in the hinged cover (2) of the housing (8), mounted above the quick-release cover (3) of the filter (7). This design allows for direct access of contaminated air to the removable container (6) and filter (7), preventing contaminated air from entering other parts of the structure. Also, this solution makes it easier to clean and replace the UV emitter (5).

The ultraviolet emitter works in the spectrum of light radiation in the "UV-C" range with a peak of 254-257 nanometers. It has the most detrimental effect on the molecular structure of microorganisms, bacteria and viruses, exerting a destructive effect on their DNA, they lose the ability to reproduce and lose many of their functions. Germicidal lamps do not produce ozone because the glass of the lamp filters out the ozone-forming spectral line of 185 nanometers. As a result, it can be concluded that the operation of bactericidal lamps does not cause the release of ozone even in minimal concentrations; therefore, their use is safe for the respiratory system, and rooms with continuously operating bactericidal lamps do not need mandatory ventilation. The presence of the emitter (5) improves the efficiency of disinfection of both the air mixture and the filter.

The declared device works as follows

When the fan (11) and the ultraviolet emitter (5) are switched on using the double on / off button (or using the remote control) (16) installed on the housing (8), a vacuum is generated in the dust collection container (6). Accordingly, the air carrying dust from the work area of the master is sucked through the hole in the lamp (17) and through the air duct (1) enters the container (6) for collecting dust. FIG. 1, arrows show air movement when the drive fan is on. Dust and foreign particles are collected at the bottom of the container (6) for collecting dust, and the cleaned air passes through the filter element (4) of the cylindrical filter (7). The air mass is irradiated, falling into the irradiation zone of the ultraviolet emitter (5), which also illuminates the filter element (4) from the inside, which allows you to process not only the air mass passing through the filter, but also to disinfect the filter element (4) itself with particles filtered in it dust. Further, the air mass passes through the drive fan (11) and exits through the outlet grill (12), which has guide vanes, which in turn direct the cleaned air flow in the desired direction. After filling the container (6) with dust, it is necessary to disconnect the device from the mains, open the hinged cover (2) of the housing (there is no need to disconnect the flexible air duct or other structural elements) and remove the quick-release cover (3) located in the upper part of the filter with installed in the lower part of the cover (3) with an ultraviolet emitter (5), which is also quick-detachable, and then remove the container for collecting dust (6). The filter (7) can also be detached and removed from the bottom of the container (6) and replaced. Next, the container (6) for collecting dust is cleaned, washed, treated with disinfectants; if necessary, the cylindrical filter (7) and / or the ultraviolet emitter (5) are replaced. At the end of processing, the container (6), the filter (7) and the cover (3) with the UV emitter (5) are installed back into the body (8) in the reverse order.

The technical result of the utility model is to improve the sanitary and hygienic cleanliness of the vacuum cleaner and the filtered air mass at the work place of the pedicure and manicure master by changing the design of the body and ease of maintenance of the vacuum cleaner.

The claimed utility model is new, since the totality of its essential features is not known from the prior art, and, accordingly, meets the “novelty” condition of patentability.

The claimed utility model meets the "industrial applicability" condition of patentability, since it can be used in industry.
